Really how is your 6970 dead You do know it has a secondary stock non flash-able bios on it right.Set the switch on it by the crossfire fingers to 2 it should boot for you to re-flash the bios back in it.

If that switch is not there then it is a non-reference board.

Try reading this......It is for 6950 to 6970 but it shows the bios switch.......and explains how to use it to re-flash.

If his card has that little switch then flash away LOL....
I've used RBE to alter the BIOS of my card a few different ways and the fan setting is fairly simple...
At the same time I have a 6950 unlocked to 6970 speeds, overvolted and the fan is revved up with higher than normal clocks on both the memory and the core....

I'm fairly certain I'm sending my card to an early death but its all good imo....LOL
I'm sure once I go to upgrade the card I'm gonna kill it going for some stupid benchmark....
